Rustic-style fairy gardens call for a particular style in furniture and accessories. Rustic furniture made with tree branches is extremely popular for full-scale garden decor, and you can achieve the same look for your fairy gardens with these cute and clever projects that use tiny twigs and other natural materials, such as grasses and acorns.

The projects will integrate nicely with just about any fairy garden you make, as the rustic garden style is made for this miniature art form.

The table is made from twigs, with a top of craft wood covered with dried grass stems.
